Bozeman bank robbed, suspect escapes

BOZEMAN — Officials say the robber walked into a First
Interstate Bank branch at about 10 a.m. Tuesday and demanded money
from the teller and showed a handgun. The robber escaped with an
unknown amount of money.

The suspect fled on foot and investigators followed his footprints
in the snow to a residential area nearby. Witnesses reported a
smaller, light colored pickup truck with a topper may have been
involved.

The suspect was described as being between 6 feet and 6 feet, 2
inches with a thin build. He was wearing a blue hooded sweat shirt
with the hood pulled up. He had longer, shaggy brown hair.

The bank was closed for about an hour during the investigation.
Bank president Scott Levandowski says no one was hurt.
